A prominent 30-year-old television journalist has died in Zimbabwe after contracting the new coronavirus infection, the first person to die in the country from the virus.
Zororo Makamba was one of the two people who tested positive for coronavirus on Saturday. He was admitted to hospital in the capital Harare after exhibiting flu-like symptoms last Thursday, the health ministry said in a statement. Makamba contracted the disease while he was in New York and was in isolation at Wilkins hospital, Harare's only isolation facility.Zimbabwe's health workers wear protective suits during a training exercise.
Zimbabwe's information minister, Monica Mutsvangwa, said she received the news with"extreme sadness and deep sense of shock." Makamba had traveled to New York on February 29 and returned to his home in Harare on March 9. He began to exhibit mild flu-like symptoms a few days later on March 12. He then contacted his doctor a week later and he was advised to self isolate, the Health Minister Obadiah Moyo said in the statement.
